GoDaddy.com chief: From Bible to breasts

Man responsible for sexy Super Bowl ad 1st to market popular QuickVerse software

Posted: February 9, 2005

The man behind the most talked-about Super Bowl commercial, which features a buxom young woman whose flimsy top repeatedly comes undone while testifying before "broadcast censorship hearings," founded a software company that produced one of the most popular Bible-study programs on the market.

Bob Parsons is the founder and president of GoDaddy.com, the domain-name registration company that spent $2.4 million on the controversial ad that poked fun at last year's Janet Jackson "wardrobe malfunction" scandal and parodied television content regulation.

"Parsons Technology went on to be quite successful," writes Parsons. "The company grew to almost 1,000 employees and had a 4 percent share of the North American software market."

Part of that market was in selling Bible software to Christians, including QuickVerse, a popular Bible-study program that was actually written by Parsons' vice president, Craig Rairdin. The product includes a Bible verse search engine, Bible commentaries, theology books, study notes, a Bible atlas, word-study guides and other resources.

1. Kinda like Hooters.
The asshats at Hooters are all GOP Bible thumpers who like to stare at women's breasts and make money off of other men who like to star at women's breasts.
